Disposable plates/cutlery for main sit-down wedding breakfast

Hi hun.

Have you considered charity shops, Freecycle and Gumtree for crockery etc?

I guess it depends if you like the mismatched look or not

Decorate the tables with some cottage-garden flowers and it will look fine. If you are having an actual seating plan, you can also put placeholders in each place. People don't spend ages looking at the tables before they sit down, and once they sit down they'll have their food!

I'd hire the crockery. That's what I did for my own wedding. I have photographed weddings with disposable plates etc... find out what the cost difference would be.

Personally I hate disposable crockery and disposable cutlery in particular is difficult to eat with (depending on what you're eating). However, there are some great disposable plates out there - is a compromise not to have good quality disposable plates but rent metal cutlery?

Just thought of something!

You'd need to carefully consider what food you're serving as some just don't get on well with disposable plates!

I'd also be thinking about environmental and sustainability issues, plastic cutlery would have to be separated from paper plates, are your staff and /or guests willing to help?
